career spans almost two decades, including leadership roles in sales, marketing
and airline operations, and we know he will make invaluable contribution towards
the growth of Etihad Airways’ operations in Cyprus as well as in Europe.

“Our
Larnaca route is a strategic business and leisure destination in Etihad
Airways’ fast-growing network, and Abdelrahman’s appointment now provides even more
opportunities to strengthen trade, tourism and cultural ties with the UAE and the
rest of our expanding network.”

Airways launched services between Abu Dhabi and Larnaca in June 2009, and has recently
announced that it will increase flights from three to seven per week from 1
